Definitely looking forward to getting the Rikomagic in, so far no shipping notice :(

I'm not a bluetooth expert, but once the link between the board and Rikomagic is setup wouldn't it be just a matter of pointing it to that COM port?

Yes it should just be a matter of setting up a COM port ; but I've never done that, and I don't have a DGT bluetooth board to do the tests :cry:
Also, since a few minutes, PicoChess also runs on Raspberry Pi devices :D

Yes, it should not be very hard, however requires one to change at least the picochess startup script as the /dev/tty.* device will change after the pairing is setup.
